At 09.08 we drove to Solnik where Zdravka, a construction engineer from Varna, and Evgueni, together with his wife Roumi, were waiting for us. The building engineer named Svetlana had to inspect the farm to take aim and form an impression of the place. They discussed back and forth in Bulgarian, and Evgueni translated roughly….

Now that we have got the key to the ‘office’ we can start storing things there. So today we went to Solnik to collect the ‘treasures’, that is, old things we found in the houses. Old glass, vases, ceramics, hand-woven rugs etc. We brought it home and washed it for years of dusty conditions. Four…

We drove from Byala at 09.00 to be out in time for the meeting with Notary in Varna in connection with Roar having bought the ‘office’ in the complex in Byala. For now it will be used as a warehouse, but eventually we will furnish it into a small studio apartment that can be rented…

After the intake of Rakia, Roar was surprisingly early up this morning. I have to have my 7-8 hours of sleep, so we didn’t drive to Solnik before for 12 am.On the way to Solnik we saw a fatal accident. Front collision between passenger car and a tanker. Dead people were on the road so…

At 9 am Roy, Riikka and the kids left Bulgaria. They were going to London and celebrate Elisa’s 18th birthday.I was sitting in the garden reading in a book, while Roar walked restlessly around and was bored, but eventually he began to puzzle with the pergola and the plants, and was busy with it for…

After a tip from Vanja, I realized that my previous attempt to find the place with the waterfall and the water, which supposedly should be very salty, was not right anyway. I used google maps / earth to try to locate where this could be. And this time I found a place marked ‘Водопад Солник…

We were going to try the fish restaurant tonight, and you can say it was varying how good the seafood was. We waited, waited and waited for the food, to too high cruel 90’s music, that ruined a bit. Probably no more trips there.Elisa’s tuna salad was too sour. The chef had gone crazy with…

Today all of us went on to the beach in Obzor. There aren’t many beach days we’ve had here, so it was lovely. Not easy to find parking in Obzor, as it is a popular place. Especially because of the long beach and that it is easily accessible. We found a parking place we were…

Today I decided to go to Solnik to find the famous stone from which Solnik has its name. This is a small mountain part that is very salty. The words Sol (Сол) in Solnik means salt. Since no one felt the urge to be with me, I went alone, but agreed to meet the others…

Then we got a brand new washing machine in the complex anyway :-).
